Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Kate got to sit on Santa's lap at church on Sunday night. She wasn't scared, but she didn't look thrilled either. I think most of the babies there were getting a little tired. I think they did a pretty good job!

Life Thus Far

Here are Kate's one, two, and three month pictures. She is growing and changing so much! We love our little girl!!!

Kate's First Pony

This post is for MiMi. I found this little pony (it kinda looks like a cow, but it really is a pony) on Craigslist and I couldn't pass it up. Here are some cute pics of Kate taking her first "pony ride".

Little Miss Christmas

Last night, we tried to get some Christmas pics of Kate. She did pretty good, but we might try for some more good ones. It is getting a little harder to take pictures of her since she is very interested in the things around her. She especially loved hiding behind her dress, silly girl!

Daddy's Girl

Kate loves spending time with Daddy. Shoulder "rides", cereal, video games, and "flying". She now enjoys it all. She is changing so much!!!

I don't know if I'm big enough for this Daddy

Daddy is very messy


The video game stares

I love to "fly" on Daddy's hands

Christmas is coming

Kate helped Momma decorate the Christmas tree this year. Okay, so, maybe she just layed on the floor, but she was very interested in it. She loves Christmas lights, just like her momma. After it was decorated, we tried taking a few pics under the tree. But, we are gonna have to try again, none of them were great.

Nothing but "serious face" but I sit up pretty good in my bebe pod


Our sweet present under the tree

A little smile, but we can do way better than that

More Christmas pics to come when Daddy has time to help us get some fabulous shots. Recently, Kate gives the camera "serious face" anytime she sees it. She will be cracking up, I put the camera up . . . and nothing. We'll get it though. Can't wait for her to smile on 3 like cousin Brennan. (might be a while though).

Family Pictures

Last Saturday, we went with all of our Oakley family to have pictures taken. It was hectic, but so much fun! After the official pictures, we went to Gma and Gpa Oakley's house and took some more of our own. Here are some great shots.

Thanksgiving in Windom

We were able to go to Windom last friday to celebrate Thanksgiving. Kate loved spending time with the whole Ellwood side of the family.

Thanksgiving

We are so thankful for all of our wonderful family. We got to spend Thanksgiving day at Great Granny's and Great Grandpa Roy's house. Kate had on her "serious face" most of the day, but she still had fun spending time with several family members. Pics from our Ellwood Thanksgiving coming soon.

Playing So Much

Kate is much more interested in playing than she used to be. Here are a few cute shots.

This toy is so interesting

The butterflies are my favorite!

Sometimes, I get so excited that I have an "ugly" smile.

Oh look, a frog!

Don't take pictures of me.

Trip to Oklahoma

Last weekend, we went to see Mimi, PaPa Nick, Uncle Josh and Aunt Jamie. Here are a few pics from our fun-filled weekend.

MiMi is so fun

I can eat like PaPa Nick

I love Aunt Jamie

I look so good in Aunt Jamie's sun glasses
